Augrabies Waterfalls
Situated in the Augrabies National Park, the Orange River is at its most impressive as it thunders its way through a ravine and into a pool walled by sheer granite, creating the world’s sixth largest waterfall, the Augrabies Waterfall. The falls derived their name from the Khoi word meaning ‘place of great noise’ which accurately describes the roar as the falls plummet 56m into the ravine. The Park with its moonscape-like land is awesome and strikingly beautiful and offers the visitor over 15 000ha of unique riverine ecosystems to explore.
